The term Temporomandibular disorder's (TMD) covers constellation of conditions. There have been many attempts to categories these conditions but all have shortfalls. Some classify by anatomy, some classify by etiology and some by frequency of presentation. We should be aware, however, that there is considerable overlap in any classification system because these are often not clinically appropriate. No one system, therefore, satisfies all criteria. Temporomandibular disorders effect the articulatory system, consisting of temporomandibular joints, mandibular muscles and the occlusion. Any factor that has an effect on one part of the system is likely to influence the other parts of the system, so it is important to avoid tunnel vison when considering possible signs and symptoms of the Temporomandibular Disorder. In modern dental schools there is a shift from traditional teaching to more interactive methods. In classical didactic textbooks, readers are frequently seen as passive recipients, without any engagement in the learning process. Problem based learning increases the effectiveness of delivering information and makes learning a more memorable experience for the reader.
